I'm sure this will be one of many, but I thought I better start addressing questions early.

Do you know about the errors?

Yes! Some are my errors, some are products of the .doc file converting to Kindle. I am working on fixing it ALL right now and I am hoping to have it uploaded by the end of the week. If you have the Kindle file downloaded, you'll be able to update it. It will also be completely corrected when it goes to print, and goes to Nook.

Do you know your book is NOT Science-Fiction?

Well, actually, it is. If you strip away the romance and the young adult label, it would fall under science fiction. Amazon doesn't have a "dystopian" category or even a "young adult" category for eBooks. I had to fall to the next best option, which was Science Fiction. I would hope that by reading the synopsis you would understand that there will be romance and young adult themes through out my book. Sorry if that disappointed you!

I would like to add another note to this. Some YA authors are putting their books into the Children's Literature category. I couldn't bring myself to do this. My book doesn't have anything explicit but to me Children =/= Young Adult. I had to think on it for a day and ended up making the decision I felt was best. I'll need to do some research on other YA books before I publish the second book, but for now, there is no way to change the categories on the first book.

Do you know your book is just like Twilight?

Have you even read Twilight? On second thought, did you even read my book?

When is the second book coming out?

I'm aiming for Fall 2012.

What is the name of the second book?

It hasn't been decided, but as soon as I do, I'll post it on my blog. I'll even be sure to include some teaser chapters--or parts of chapters--since I couldn't include anything at the end of Exceptional.

I've really been enjoying reading all your emails and comments! Keep them coming!
